Shelf Awareness Best Children's Book of the Year

A soccer story--for boy and girls alike--just in time for the World Cup

"Vini Come The field calls " cries a girl as she and her younger brother rouse their community--family, friends, and the local fruit vendor--for a pickup soccer (futbol) game. Boys and girls, young and old, players and spectators come running--bearing balls, shoes, goals, and a love of the sport.

"Friends versus friends" teams are formed, the field is cleared of cows, and the game begins But will a tropical rainstorm threaten their plans?

The world's most popular and inclusive sport has found its spirited, poetic, and authentic voice in Baptiste Paul's debut picture book--highlighting the joys of the game along with its universal themes: teamwork, leadership, diversity, and acceptance. Creole words (as spoken in St. Lucia, the author's birthplace island in the Caribbean) add spice to the story and are a strong reminder of the sport's world fame. Bright and brilliant illustrations by debut children's book illustrator Jacqueline Alc ntara--winner of the We Need Diverse Books Illustration Mentorship Award--capture the grit and glory of the game and the beauty of the island setting where this particular field was inspired.

Soccer fan or not, the call of The Field is irresistible.

Excellent Snack but price a bit high
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box)
I do not know how they make these things. But Daisy really loves them. Been buying them for a few years now and they still don't go down in price.

I Received the Old, Outdated Product
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box)
I have been buying these strips for years and my dog loves them so much that they are the ONLY treat he will eat. I ordered a 10 lb. box that arrived 5/14/26 and received old, brown-labeled product that he won’t touch. I had a white-labeled package left from my past order and he will eat those but not the old, most recently received ones. Thankfully, Amazon issued a refund, but I am hesitant to purchase these again.

Not made in USA
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box), Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box)
The product is good but it is not made in the USA. It says Taiwan! That makes me angry because I don’t trust foreign countries for pet foods. It is well known there has been products from another country that actually poisoned US pets. I ordered the box of 10 and have been giving it to my two small dogs. I will be monitoring closely . They should not advertise made in USA when it says made in Taiwan!
